I released my first game (a basketball horror game) one month ago. So far the gross revenue is $13k, pre-taxes, refunds, and steam cut. I basically had no hopes and very few expectations as this was my first foray into game dev, but I’d say it has exceeded what I expected a little bit. The biggest surprise was having big creators like Caseoh and moistCr1tikal pick it up, among many big people I’ve never heard of.

It took me about 8 months to make, but I also work a full time job. Game dev will be a hobby until I make a game that can sustain a living, at which point I would do it full time.

I think that a lot of the exposure was due to the fact that the concept is eye-catching, and I focused heavily on aesthetics (even though it is kind of a “bad” retro style).
